Mary-Kate Olsen On Being Sexy, Sister Ashley And Heath Ledger

Mary-Kate Olsen is on the July cover of Elle and inside she dishes all things except the death of her friend Heath Ledger.

On the controversy surrounding Heath Ledger's death:
"I'm not going to comment on that, I won't give you a word about that in the nicest way possible. Let's move on."

On celebrity:
"It's weird to be called a celebrity or talk about it. I don't talk about being a celebrity in my business meetings. I don't talk about it with my friends. It's not a part of my life. It's a media perception of who I am. It's very weird. I mean, if I see a paparazzi shot of me walking that's in a magazine or something at some event, it's as if I see it from an outsider's point of view. There's like a character, almost, and then there's me.

On twin sister Ashley:
"We don't agree all the time. The way we go about business or designing or making a decision is that we come at it from two completely different angles that at the end of the day, even when we don't think we're agreeing with each other, we are agreeing. We're just getting there in different ways. Unless you're a twin, you honestly can't know how close twins can be. There's such a strength, but that also makes it..." Her voice trails off. "When there's that much love there's...Well, there's the opposite of everything, but it stems from love, and it stems from passion. We're driven people. I do know I can't work in an office. Ashley, on the other hand, loves going to an office."

On being sexy:
"I feel like I can be sexy when I want to be," she says. "I think all women are sexy. Some may feel it more than others. I personally think the women who are the most sexy are the women who are truly themselves, whatever that may be."

On her fashion:
"I don't know--you're either on the worst-dressed list or you've started a fashion trend. I think there's a real disconnect between the media's perception of fashion and the fashion world's idea of fashion. I don't know why I wear some of the things I wear. I like wearing crazy things sometimes. I like being playful. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing dress-up and becoming a character. It's sort of like an art. It can change your mood or the way that people are attracted to you."

Those girls always appear to need a good bath. I think it might be their hair. It always looks unbrushed and dull and not cut very well. Guess it could be the result of drugs. My daughter always says that's why they wear the heavy dark makeup that doesn't match their skin tones - to hide the affect of their drugs.

You could shave with her pelvis.

She will star in the upcoming remake of "The Bride of Chucky".

[faretheewell]

She's a real little hottie in Transylvania. However, most living males would not find her to be that attractive.

The Olson twins should sell bobble head dolls of themself...because man...they got huge heads....like that OJ Simpson cat!!!!!!!!!!!

[wadenelson1]

Umm, are those stilettos about 3 sizes too big or is it just a camera thing?

[GalaxieGal]

I think the light is washing out the back of her heels. It does give the impression of playing dress up though, doesn't it?

[wadenelson1]

The Olsen twins look like the little plastic "trolls" I had as a kid.

[petecook5]

HA! I've been saying the same thing since they were little trolls on that awful show full house. Funny part is they STILL look that way today.

[leftLibertarian]

Sexy? I don't think so.

[SharonB]

There are some hillarious posts about them on Go Fug Yourself. They dress like people who live at a land fill.

Sexy???? They are no more sext than Amy Winehouse... and FAR less talented.

[grailknight]

Sexy? The thought of Ben Kingley kissing her in a movie makes one's skin crawl.

[DebofMD]

She just looks like a child to me. With heavy makeup on.

[CammyV]

They're both so cute, even now that they're adults , they still look like little dolls to me. It's nice that they've been able to maintain their twins bond, and were able to count on each other. Growing up in the entertainment industry where so many youngsters get screwed over, they must have had good and trustworthy management and parents. They're lucky their last name isn't Lohan or their future would have been much different.

Um, don't know where you've been, but the rumors of Mary Kate's drug use are rampant. Especially after Heath Ledger's death. There's nothing cute about drug addicts.

[andvoodoo2]

She looks like Ms. Potato Head.
Or, like a little girl playing dress-up in her mommy's best funeral clothes.

[scornflakes]

Another example of "Shut up, take it off."

[andvoodoo2]

Just because that's your favorite line (right after you slip a woman a roofie), it doesn't mean other people use it. Seek help.

"It's weird to be called a celebrity or talk about it. I don't talk about being a celebrity in my business meetings. I don't talk about it with my friends. It's not a part of my life."

Right. This from someone who's been a walking, talking "celebrity" since she was about a foot tall.

[zippywpinhead]

lol, she's still only about a foot tall...
